Major League Baseball can be so much more than it is today -- more energized, more representative, more family-oriented, more community focused. More fun. If they weren't billionaire cowards, they'd call me.

This is a little about the Dodgers, but it's much more about how John Fisher fraudulently kept Oakland on the hook for a decade. It's about Giants Pride Night. It's about how there are fewer Black American ballplayers now than in the 80s.

Baseball is a business, sure, but it's also part of the fabric of our communities, our families, and our identities. That's a precious trust. If the sport wants to thrive, it must commit to honoring that relationship. It must invest real energy and resources into rebuilding the trust it has broken.

My ideas for strategies and tactics to achieve these goals have changed over two decades, but my vision remains true.

I've been working on my MLB Commissioner plan for over 20 years. The goals are: - League-wide parity and increased competitiveness - The best labor practices of any global sport - Investment in a diverse and energized player and fan base to power baseball for the next 50 years.

Dynasties are bad. Every team deserves a fair shot to go all the way because every city deserves it and every fan deserves it. Baseball does not exist to give big media market teams something to do while they wait for October.

Any story about Loren Taylor should lead with the fact that his political career is financed by hedge fund managers and real estate moguls who don't live in Oakland. Also his PACs Empower Oakland, Black Action Alliance, and Revitalize East Bay. Taylor is a stooge for Piedmont and Peninsula money.

Big "can briefly be used as a boat" energy

I call this a "yay-boo!" where you are happy for them but a little sad for yourself

We are the world's biggest baseball dorks, and we have watched almost none of the postseason this year because it is too confusing and expensive. If I were trying to kill a sport within 40 years on purpose, I would do everything MLB is doing.
